Description of "Our Community"：Kiyang
Village
Kiyang Village is located about 5.6 kilometers south to Wuta Station of Beihui railway, right bank of the Dananao South River, north to Yu-en Mt. The elevation is about 120 meters.
If you want to visit Kiyang Village from Nan-ao in 1980s, you had to take a tractor from Suhua Road to Wuta Village, and then to the riverbed road along Danao-ao South River. It took about 2 hours to reach the village after passing several check points. In the bad weather, the traffic problem became even worse.Today, a lot of people come to Kiyang for camping trups as traffic conditions are improved. Amidst green mountains and clear water, maple forest and winding rivers, Kiyang Village is a perfect get-away place and the entrance to Mystery Lake.
＊Summary of Our Project：
Kiyang Village, the farthest Atayal tribe in Nan-ao Township, is gifted with beautiful sceneries, rich culture, and abundant natural resources. In this project, by unveiling the mystry of Kiyang Tribe, students can grow more attached to their native land.
To better present the tourism resources of Kiyang Village, we divided the project into two parts, the first one is interview and visit; the second part is review and discussion of past literatures. The project agenda is as below：

3.Problems
We Had To Overcome：
Problems |
Description |
Solution |
Poor weather |
We wanted to spend our spare time on field investigation, but often ran into poor weather. |
We arranged all of our outdoor events on the same day, sometimes even during school time. |
Insufficient time |
We supposed to organize the information after the trip, yet it was already, and we had to go to school the next day, so we didn’t have enough time. |
We would write the comments on the learning slip, then type into the computers. |
Short deadlines for webpage editing |
Because everyone was busy during the semester, and waited until the time to edit wepbages. |
We asked the volunteers from Fo Guang University to help us editing the webpages. |
4.Our
Project Sound Bite：
Kiyang Village is a place with rich culture and abundant natural
resources. We are glad to have this opportunity to learn more about this
place. We have learned so much skills and knowledge from some
interesting activities, and we hope to learn more about the culture of
Kiyang Village. By participating in this project, we want others to know
about the tourism resources of Kiyang, and welcome everyone to
Kiyang.
